With Northern Iowa football, there has been one constant for the Panthers in the 21st century: head coach Mark Farley, who is entering his 24th season in charge. He’s the second-winningest active coach in FCS (aka 1-AA) football with a 180-103 record. But after three straight six-win seasons, Farley is shaking things up with four new assistant coaches including new coordinators on both sides of the ball.
With former offensive coordinator Bodie Reeder leaving for Middle Tennessee (and taking former Husker Joe Ganz with him), Farley hired former Washington State All-Pac-12 quarterback Luke Falk as offensive coordinator to implement Mike Leach’s “Air Raid” offense.
